Description
Discusses results of project undertaken to map and inventory community gardens and greenhouses in Labrador, Nunavik, Nunavut, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.
Examines six safety issues based on measures taken or planned to be taken by communities in their efforts to ensure food security: smokehouse construction, gardening using tires planters, greywater for irrigation purposes, traditional preservation techniques, treated timber planter boxes, and hydroponic growing systems.
Makes recommendations under four themes: traditional foods, local food production, Federal subsidy and support programs, and project funding coordination and promotion.
